What is Tao?

Tao is a term used by the Chinese nation for their own understanding of nature, which means the trajectory or trajectory of all things, and it can also be said that things change and move.

Tao, of course Nature is the Tao. Natural person, ego, ego. Of course, so, so, so.

Everything is not the thing itself, the sun and the moon are self-evident, the stars are self-ordered, animals are self-made, the wind is self-driven, water flows by itself, plants are self-planted, breathing does not breathe, the heartbeat does not beat, and so on.

Because all things are not things, they all follow something without exception. It is the root of change, immortal, intangible, without image, without beginning or end, and all-encompassing. Nothing more than big, nothing more than small, changing with time and never changing.

Tao and consciousness

"Tao" is the most fundamental law to promote the operation of the universe and the consciousness of "heaven", which is not limited by time and space.

Consciousness is divided into meaning and knowledge, meaning is thinking, and it is a process of realizing goals based on concepts, while knowledge is a process of feeling and explaining concepts.

When we think of Tao, it grows endlessly from a huge nest, so everything comes into being. When we feel it, heaven and man are one, so everything is quiet.

Tao is the most fundamental force in the universe. It's all the time. It transcends time and space, that is, it is changeable and unchangeable. If there must be regularity, it is "the avenue to Jane"

The human brain is a small universe, people are conscious, the sky is conscious, and consciousness is not something. There is no difference between the consciousness of heaven and the consciousness of man, and they all follow the Tao. Man's consciousness and heaven's consciousness are intertwined, so your thoughts must be branded with heaven, and your fate is not entirely in your hands.

Laozi's thought

Laozi made a comprehensive investigation on the success or failure of history, synthesized all kinds of knowledge and founded his own theory. In his ideological theory, "Tao" is what he often says. He believes that "Tao" is the foundation of all things in the world, and "Tao gives birth to one, two, two, three and three things". So, what is "Tao"?

In his words, it is a spiritual entity that "turns a blind eye", "turns a deaf ear" and "forbids learning". "Tao" created everything. After creating "everything", we should keep the spirit of "Tao" and follow the spirit of "Tao", so let nature take its course. People call the school with Laozi as the Sect the Taoist School.

Laozi's thought contains simple dialectical factors such as "the righteous are strange, the good are evil" and "the disaster is blessed". Everything has two sides, and the opposite can be transformed. Laozi also said that Tao has two attributes: being and being, and illustrated the relationship between being and being with vivid examples.

He said that the cup can only hold things because the middle is empty; A house, because of its "nothing", can produce the function of living. It can be seen that the reason why "you" can bring convenience to people depends entirely on "nothing". Only "yes" can't be of great use, and only the combination of "yes" and "no" can be of great use.

Tao Te Ching, also known as Laozi, was handed down by Laozi. Although there are only 5,000 words, those who have profound philosophy and can understand the mystery are called scholars. Seeing that Zhou (Eastern Zhou) was in chaos, Lao Tzu finally rode a green cow from Luoyang to the west and left Hanguguan, desperate.
